Pre-broadcast leak

On 6 July 2014, the scripts for the first five episodes of the series (including "Deep Breath") were inadvertently leaked online from BBC Worldwide's Latin America headquarters, prompting a plea from BBC Worldwide to keep the storylines of the five episodes secret.[9] Also leaked was a rough cut of "Deep Breath", missing most of the visual effects but otherwise mostly complete.[10]
